TurboTax is NOT checking WMR for every single person, I can promise you that. They have to get some kind of notification from the IRS to know that your refund has been issued and that’s the 846 code—and usually the WMR updates the day after that, but not always. Like I said, WMR never updates for me. Why would they be going off of WMR? It’s literally just a tool that taxpayers can use. I assume that there is some kind of automatic notification to release the money once the code goes through. If they’re using WMR, scam, because they don’t even update that consistently and it’s never been a reliable way to tell. I got my DDD last night for 2/24 and have heard zero from TT with no updated WMR either. I’ll be annoyed if I don’t get my money today.
